[PATCH] Fix endianess in modpost when cross-compiling for sparc on i386
From: Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer <mchouque@online.fr> This patch makes the following code work again: #ifdef STT_REGISTER if (info->hdr->e_machine == EM_SPARC || info->hdr->e_machine == EM_SPARCV9) { /* Ignore register directives. */ if (ELF_ST_TYPE(sym->st_info) == STT_REGISTER) break; } #endif This portion of code is sparc specific and nothing else in modpost.c uses e_machine meaning cross-compiling for sparc on i386 (or any little endian machine) is the only way to experience the bug. Without it, e_machine has the wrong value and modpost then generates a lot of "*** Warning: \"symbol\" [filename.ko] undefined" messages.
